  1.  @trolololololll  Ukraine actually agreed to give up its nukes after the Soviet Union fell if Russia agreed never to invade.

  2.  @trolololololll  Hindsight is 20/20. A pre-Putin Russians weren't like the nationalist warmongers of today, and Ukraine received economic aid for agreeing to give up their nukes. I'm sure it seemed like a good deal at the time.

  5. It goes both ways. Just look at the reluctance of Europe to sanction Russia after being economicly dependent on Russian energy. China will invade Taiwan, and most countries will do nothing.

  6.  @kelvinekline5950  What does this have to do with Putin not respecting Russia's treaty obligations to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and borders?

  7. @Totally aware Eastern European countries that aligned with the EU are better off than the Asian countries that chose debt trap diplomacy with China.

  8. Macron literally suggested surrendering territory to Putin. Mockery is well deserved.

  10.  @taiwanisacountry  Singapore, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan grew their economy when the states only agreed to match subsidies with private capital investment because they knew private companies and competition are the key to economic growth. Compare this to your dream socialist economies of the Soviet Union, Cuba, and North Korea.

  11.  @dave_riots  North Korea and Cuba were only prosperous because the large economy of the Soviet Union was sending the small countries financial aid. Once the aid disappeared, the house of cards fell.

  12.  @taiwanisacountry  If having more smart people and more resources is the main requirement for prosperity, then the Soviet Union, China, Indonesia, and India would be the dominant economies of today. That isn't the case because poor economic policies can sink countries even when they should have every advantage.

  13.  @dave_riots  Your ignorance is apparent. If their primary exports are raw materials, then it isn't a sophisticated economy. East Germany was so much poorer than the West that the East still has caught up economically.

  14.  @zuzanazuscinova5209  They tend to have high turnover and poor quality employees as high performers quickly leave for other companies. The principles of supply and demand don't care about political ideology.

  17. Why? America has enough problems without getting roped to another Shiite-Sunni fight in the middle east.

  19.  @Street_photographyGK  The fact your only source of information is Russia state TV is proof that it is untrue.

  20.  @M88881  Of course, you keep coming back to Russia State Propaganda even after they are debunked by open sources or basic common sense.

  21.  @M88881  3rd party, public satellite photos are an obvious one. When Russia retreats from occupied cities in Ukrainian there are dead civilian bodies in the streets and mass graves. Russian State Media says that Ukrainians either did it themselves or staged the scene to blame Russians. However, public satellite photos clearly show the mass graves and murdered civilians were there weeks or months before Ukrainians liberated the cities. Obviously, Putin's media is lying.

  22.  @johanstinson  Half the new conscripts were sent to the front line with little to no training. I also suspect Russia's quality of the training will also be down as they sent most of the infantry trainers to the front line to deal with manpower shortages earlier in the war.

  23.  @blackpanthar906  That is hardly noteworthy as Russians have one of the lowest birth rates in the world. Russia are rich enough to provide birth control, but Russians are too poor to want to have more kids.

  25.  @FZJanimated  Maybe some of that newly printed money should go to education, so ignorant voters can learn some basic economics. Most Americans knew enough economics to oppose Build Back Better to avoid further inflation issues.

  26.  @acevaver5425  Your "military power" idea is nonsense. It true that the US has the most military power, and most in demand currency, but the correlation ends there. Top reserved currencies 1. U.S. Dollar: $6.74 trillion (61.82%) 2. Euro: $2.21 trillion (20.24%) 3. Japanese Yen: $572 billion (5.25%) 4. Pound Sterling: $495 billion (4.54%) 5. Chinese Renminbi: $213 billion (1.95%) Top military spending 1. The United States — $778 billion 2. China — $252 billion [estimated] 3. India — $72.9 billion 4. Russia — $61.7 billion 5. United Kingdom — $59.2 billion The EU and Japan aren't know for having an impressive military, but they are huge stable markets, so people want the Euro and Yen. Meanwhile, Russia and India are deeply unstable economically, so few want to deal with their currencies.

  27.  @manickn6819  Maybe. It is hard to know (If I could perfectly predict currency values, then I wouldn't need to work for a living). I have a hard time seeing people embracing the Chinese yuan when Chinese millionaires and billionaires don't want it. The Communist work very hard to avoid capital flight. It will probably grow, but I don't see it surpassing either the Euro or the Dollar. I imagine the Japanese Yen and Swiss Frac will grow as autocrats attempt to diversify. The fact that you can spend a Dollar anywhere makes it so attractive that even the Iran and Syrian governments finds ways to get dollars. The dollar isn't going anywhere unless progressives print too much money in America.

  28.  @bassamalfayeed1384  A little inflation is good, because it encourages investment instead of holding money in savings account. It also allows the government to get a small amount of revenue from money printing. Deflation is actually worst for an economy than inflation.

  36. That is true if you ignore all the videos that criticize the US/Europe and all the videos that praise Africa and Asia. Due to all the bad governing of Latin America, there really is much good to say about the region.

  39. This can be misleading as many medium sized companies primarily work for mega companies as suppliers or contractors.
    1
  40.  @kaba_me  It goes both ways. Large companies like outside suppliers and contractors, because they can leave them out to dry when it's convenient. It less risk than owning their operations.

  41.  @kaba_me  I'm just pointing out that it isn't simply medium vs big businesses as the economic ecosystem is closely linked where medium and large businesses heavily effect one another. I find it amusing your blanket statement about living in America when the country is so big that you can find drastically differences in living standards, crime, and politics based on which state you live in.

  46. Many conservatives rally behind him, because they find the alternative worst. I have many neighbours employed in the natural gas business who dislike Trump, but don't want Biden to show up and make the jobs that supports their families disappear. It pretty closed minded to simply lump groups of people into two groups.

  47. China doesn't need advance research when they can just steal trade secrets and intellectual property. Also, Russians have to park their stolen money somewhere.

  48.  @u.2b215  Dictatorships can't have rule of law, because the law is meaningless when the dictatorship controls the courts, makes the laws, and only enforces the one that benefit himself. Even autocrats the West likes have difficulty getting private investment. Just look at America's (begrudgingly) favorite autocrat, the Sauds. They been failing to get foreign investment for decades. Most non-democratic countries also have capital controls, because locals prefer to invest in stable democracies over local autocrats. Russians for example has more wealth outside of Russia than within.
